Very nice and compact school book about Java and GUI

First you can read how to code in Java as it was thought for tiny devices there RAM and CPU has not much to help. This book is very compact list of "how to" for people who do not know much about Java and programming for tiny devices. Secondary this book has very nice LTK (a lightweight alternative to AWT) for GUI development. This toolkit describes base architecture for GUI programming and illustrates it with complete "easy to read" code. That is a very "little" code base which beginners can use to understand how to make GUI toolkit. This book is excellent for students who want to understand basics in Java and AWT/SWING GUI architecture. (unfortunately this is not compatible with SWT used in Eclipse) I agree that C++ part and debugger part of this book has not much to tell today. My conclusion is: buy this book and give to some who want to understand base in modern Java and Java-GUI development. Tell to read only Java and LTK part. This is probably most compact book you can find on market about those topics and - it is very easy to read. Big thanks to Chris for this book, I have bought 10+ ex of this and use those all time to teach my employees to keep things simple and code efficient.
